No super 8 show, tonight (but I'm planning the next one for tomorrow eh eh eh).
Great movie on DVD: CINDERELLA MAN. What an incredible story was Jimmy Braddock's. So perfect setting, great actors, very detailed plot. I must admit I love Howard's movies. And this is one of my favorite.
Even if set during the very worst moments of American (and, in general, global) Economic Depression, the will I have every time I watch this movie is to close my eyes for a while to try to imagine how people were feeling, living, in such a terrible, difficult context.
The movie is so well directed that I can really feel those realities, those moods. I'm in there, next to people fighting for something. To survive, above all. And when I open my eyes back I wonder if we would act the same way, nowadays. I mean, global financial crisis in 2009 too. But would we fight for the milk? Oh well, only personal remarks.
I love that movie. And my English is not so perfect to be in a position to express myself the way I would like to. .

Great Line-up John ...
"I Had a Little Friend ..."
(John will get it!)
Tonight, some more Universal 8 digests!
Animal House! Smokey and the Bandit 2 (Perhaps the best smash-up of Cop cars on film, except, perhaps, "Blues Brothers")
But Foist ... Three Stooges
Disorder in the Court! (unknown film company, I don't think it's a Columbia release. It's a very good print, though.)
But FOIST, before that ...
Rabbit Fire! (Rabbit season! Duck Season!) Red Fox
BUT FOIST ... FOIST!! A Trailer!
"A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum"
A favorite of mine, as it had one of the last appearances of Buster Keaton on the big screen! Cantenbury Films print.

Osi,i believe the "Disorder in the Court" is a Niles print.
I have the 400foot version in the orange Niles box,but sadly the number has worn from the side of the box,hope this helps.
Last night myself and a few friends had a beer and movie night. The line up was:
Waltons 200ft Trailer Selection No2,Callen,One Million Years BC,Percys Progress,Shalaco (A.860)Color,sound.
Universal Eights 200ft(Walton Film)Stock Car 500 Callenge (2812)Color(slight fade)sound.
Universal Eights 200ft(Walton Film)Demolition Derby(2803)color,sound.
Columbias 400ft The Flintstones,The Twitch(FL 4018)Color sound.
Marketing Films 3x400ft When Worlds Collide(1061,62,63)Color sound.
All prints have held up well with just one starting to fade.
Its was a great Summers night and everyone enjoyed themselfs getting a kick out of seeing a good Super 8 night for the first time
